Beverley Street

Blue Rodeo

A crowded room on Beverley 
A party for the rent 
You were sitting casually 
With a few of your fabulous friends 
I asked you what your name was 
But you just turned and laughed 
Then a little later 
I finally caught your eye 
And even though you tried so hard 
You couldn’t hide your smile 
I followed you downstairs 
And we talked for a long long time 

Would you call that love 
Who’s to say 
I don’t know much about love 
But you’re the best I ever had 

It wasn’t long before you changed 
Your phone number to mine 
You said that you were movin’ in 
But you needed a little time 
So I kept all your messages 
Til you made up your mind 
Now the rain is fallin’ and the clouds are gathering 
And the sun refuse to shine 
Your promises and whispered words 
Are forever on my mind 
And I’m left here smokin’ cigarettes 
That you left behind 

Would you call that love 
Who’s to say 
I don’t know much about love 
But you’re the best I ever had
